The young Ghanaian rapper's hip-hop showdown kicked off with an auto show, setting the stage for performances from the country's most exciting hip-hop talents.
Sarkodie was one of several guest performers who shared in Kweku Smoke's big moment.
The most decorated rapper in Africa has been involved in Kweku Smoke's journey since their first collaboration, Yedin, the youngster's debut in 2019.
It was a humbling moment when Sarkodie started recounting Kweku Smoke's rise to the top, describing him as 'the definition of patience and hard work'.
"Tonight, I'm not here to perform. I came all the way here to congratulate Kweku Smoke. This guy has been through a lot. He's the definition of patience and hard work. He has been grinding since day one. I have tears in my eyes."
Kweku Smoke bowed to Sarkodie, who lifted him up and gave him a fulfilling hug. Before Sarkodie left the stage, he called Kweku Smoke the Best Rapper of the Year and rallied the audience to support the youngster's bid for the award next year.
Speaking about the enviable moment with YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said,
"The concert ticks a lot of boxes as one of the best music experiences this year. Sarkodie's moment on stage with Kweku Smoke also proves that. He's on an incredible run, and I'm one of many people who think his dominance beyond Ghana's borders is near."

Yaw Siki had a close brush with death, which influenced him to become a preacher, devote his life to God anew, and shift to becoming a Christian musician.
The new song, Oreba, which preaches the second coming of Christ, follows other religious songs by Yaw Siki, who now goes by a new name, Brother Yaw.
